Building Museums™ Symposium 2026 in Baltimore
Baltimore (USA), March 2026 – From 11 to 13 March 2026, the international museum and cultural building community will gather at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor for the renowned Building Museums™ Symposium 2026, organised by the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums (MAAM). This year's exhibitors include Asgaard Systems (USA), a long-standing partner of ArtStore, the leading brand for professional art storage and presentation systems.
The Building Museums™ Symposium is considered one of the most important professional events in North America for museum construction, expansion, renovation and sustainable development. Decision-makers from museums, architectural firms, planning, technology and project management come together here to discuss current challenges and learn about forward-looking solutions.
Focus on the future of museum construction
Under the theme ‘Vision – Implementation – Life After Opening,’ the three-day symposium highlights all phases of a museum project: from the initial idea to planning and construction to long-term operation. The programme includes high-profile keynotes, practical case studies, interactive workshops and exclusive museum visits in and around Baltimore.
Against the backdrop of increasing demands for sustainability, efficiency and visitor orientation, the symposium offers a central platform for professional exchange and inspiration.
